Kramer's Journey

[Kramer]

I recently contacted my wife's ex-best friend to get her perspective on things. She has known my wife for 35 years. They had a fallout 5 years ago and haven't spoken since then. She was a serial cheater who frequently used my wife as an alibi, and my wife got tired of it and ended the friendship.

Ironically, my wife is now committing the same behaviors and actions that she was so angry about. Double irony: her friend has been in counseling and has since reconciled with her husband, and their new relationship is stronger than ever.

My wife was extremely angry that I contacted her friend, and demanded to know why. In her mind, she probably thinks that I am comparing them and badmouthing her. The reality is that I was asking about the process of reconciliation after such betrayal. Of course, I can't share that with my wife.

Weird all around...
